If you are like me, you have a very picky eater at home who is a dog! Rose does not like anything outside of a cheeseburger. She likes exactly different kinds of food and both are dirt cheap which is great! However, I am always either running out, or more likely, she is going on a strike because she hates her food for a few days. It's very hard!
I have tried to make my own dog food in the attempt to always have something on hand that Rose will eat. I used very simple ingredients, and the results were...well....there is a reason that this is called take one.
Dogs can eat many different things but make sure you are not feeding them something toxic like chocolate, onions, garlic, and much more. Please see my previous blogs that outline what your dogs should never eat. If your dog has allergies, then speak to your vet before making any food for them. I am using this recipe that was recommend by a vet, but your pet's needs may vary.
You will need:
1 cup white rice
1 cup peas
1 cup lean meat
1/3 cup cut carrots (optional)
Heat and mix all together and serve. You can make a bigger batch and store in the fridge for up to a week.
I did this and presented this to Rose and here was her reaction....
So, right now, Rose is not too thrilled with this food. I am not sure why. It has been cooled to room temp and mixed well. She is super picky so I might try another type of meat like turkey to see if she will eat it. For the record, Indy stole this food from Rose about 10 minutes after this photo was taken and he loved it!
I will try another route next time and post the results!
Have a good one, Dog Moms and Dads!
